The Fernando Torres record Luis Suarez can beat this weekend

Luis Suarez is in sensational goal scoring form for Liverpool and the Uruguayan has a host of targets in his sights this season.

The striker is just six goals away from equalling the record number of goals scored in a Premier League season, while he is currently averaging more than a goal a game – something no player has managed to do over the course of a Premier League campaign.

But there is one landmark that Liverpool fans may not be aware of, that will surely please the Anfield faithful.

Suarez is currently on 79 career goals for the Reds, meaning he only needs three more to eclipse an old Kopite favourite who has fallen far from favour since leaving the club.

Fernando Torres scored 81 times for Liverpool, but will be overtaken by Suarez almost certainly in the coming games, given the rate of scoring the latter has achieved this year.

Suarez went past Torres' tally of 65 league goals for the Reds when he netted his 66th – and hat-trick clincher – in the 6-3 win at Cardiff City.

Who would bet against him reaching 82 against Tottenham on Sunday?

Meanwhile, Torres has scored just four Premier League goals to date for Chelsea this season, which is two less than Martin Skrtel has netted for Liverpool in 2013/14.

How Liverpool fans would love Suarez to deny Torres a Premier League title winner's medal this season.
